The best Wallet I've ever owned, I just wish I had more to fill it with...
Short Review: I've really enjoyed this wallet, and wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone and everyone whenever the discussion of wallets come up.Longer Review: Growing up, my dad was always a Bifold man, and I assumed I would be too. That was until I received my first wallet as a gift, and fell in love with the Trifold design. Cards on both sides, ID in the middle, and plenty of room for all that cash I seem to run out of so quickly. The only complaint I had was the thickness, but I learned to live with it, and that Trifold wallet served me well for a good 10 years.Fast forward to about a year ago when my wallet was showing it's age, and I knew I needed an update. My buddy recommended the latest creation by the makers of his Wallet, EZGO. He had one of their hard plastic wallets, but I was eyeing their new leather unit. I ordered it, and loved the slim design that allowed it to fit in my front pocket. No longer would I shift uncomfortably during long car rides or extended stints at my desk, instead, my wallet shared a pocket with my Galaxy S7 with an Otterbox case, and I had room to spare. It held almost all the cards I had before (and I could have stood to shed some weight anyways) and without the bulge in backpocket I was free to show off my mediocre tush.That wallet, however, didn't stand up to the test of time. Within a few months, the card pocket lining (meant to block RFID strippers) was coming off, and within 9 months, it was hanging loose and blocking me from sliding cards in unless I wedged a finger in the slot to hold the lining out of the way. I also became less than enamored with the cash storage solution. It required the bills to folded over twice (increasing their thickness 4x) and to be shoved into a stretchy elastic pouch on one side of the wallet. With just a few 20's and 1's, the wallet's thickness quickly doubled, and grabbing a smaller denomination bill meant pulling out and unfolding the entire wad, showing off my wealth (or lack there of) to the entire line at Subway.Then I found this Fossil Wallet, and I think I've found wallet nirvana, my friends. With four times the card slots of my old wallet, I was able to my credit and debit cards in one, my ID in another, the rest of my membership/library/loyalty cards in a third, and my RFID door key for work in the last. No longer must I pull out the entire stack to access one card, everything is neatly organized, and really no thicker than before. And the money clip, oh the money clip! The magnet is strong enough that I've felt my pocket pull away from my leg when I walk to close to a metal door, it's glorious. A single fold of my bills is all it takes to slide them under the little latch, and I can even keep my bills in separate folds based on denomination, so someone may see I have a 100, but they won't necessarily know it's only one 100, and not the four I claim it to be.The black leather is stylish and sleek, and quite durable (it survived a 20 foot toss onto concrete with only minor scuffing on the bottom corners, don't ask). It fits in the same spot my old wallet did, and it's only slightly thicker due to the magnetic money clip, but it's well worth it. My dad recently got a new wallet for Father's Day, a new bifold. I smiled and congratulated him on his new accessory, all the while internally celebrating my infinitely better wallet. Perhaps I'll convert him someday...Ver másVer menos
